The future DJCam's first contact with the world of music was not headphones and turntables but the piano, which he began learning at the tender age of 8.
DJCam's avant-garde vibes went on to prove a veritable hit on the Japanese dance scene and the French DJ was soon greatly in demand in the studio.
DJCam is renowned for his exploration of different musical sources and in 2001 he paid homage to the late great jazz masters, reworking the Miles Davis classic "In a Silent Way" on "Panthalassa", a tribute album masterminded by Bill Laswell.
DJCam is a well-bred young Frenchman, who knows his Mozart and his classic jazz.
DJCam runs the gamut from pure, New York-style hip hop, on "Mental Invasion," to a sort of reggae-meets-drum'n'bass sound on "Ganja Man." "Candyman," with its vaguely threatening vocal samples, is an eery, atmospheric work that could be the soundtrack to an imaginary horror film.
Born Laurent Daumail, in Paris, DJCam has been a catalyst for the burgeoning club and electronica scene on the continent.
